Chapter 2793 Sharing with You
The emperor was about to suggest that Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Lu think Zhou Man is not very good. He is not blind, so he naturally knows that the relationship between Zhou Man and Prince Gong is not very good.
Every time they meet, either Prince Gong makes Zhou Man angry, or Zhou Man makes Prince Gong angry. The relationship between the two is not even as good as that between Prince Gong and the Crown Prince.
At least Prince Gong and the Crown Prince can still maintain the peace on the surface.
The emperor looked at the queen. He didn't think the queen would not notice this.
The Queen smiled slightly and said, "I think Zhou Man is quite good."
She said, "Her medical skills are undoubtedly the best in the Imperial Hospital, except for Dean Xiao. She is also young. It's freezing cold now, and other Imperial Doctors would suffer if they went out. Although she would suffer as well, she is young and can still hold her own."
"The most important thing is that I heard from the people in Prince Gong's Mansion that Sanlang has no restraint in his diet. He has gained nearly 20 kilograms since returning to Luozhou this year."
Upon hearing this, the emperor sat up straight and his face darkened.
He always thought that it was better for people to be a little fat, and the third child was cute because of his chubby appearance. But ever since Zhou Man helped Prince Gong lose weight, he also knew that being fat was not good.
In the past, Xiao Yuanzheng and others were reluctant to persuade him too deeply, but after Zhou Man helped Prince Gong lose weight, they started to talk to him openly. Only then did he realize that obesity can cause so many problems.
Although Sanlang developed a leg disease, it is undeniable that his health has improved a lot after losing weight, and his complexion is rosier than before.
Even though he injured a leg, the Imperial Medical Bureau would check his pulse every year and give him a health evaluation that was better than in previous years.
Seeing that he was moved, the Queen continued, "Your Majesty, let alone the entire Imperial Hospital, even if you pull out all the civil and military officials in the court, how many people can find a way to make Sanlang lose weight?"
The emperor fell into deep thought, "Wei Zhi should be counted as one, Yin Li can also be counted, except for these two..."
The emperor thought about it seriously, shook his head, and that was it.
"Yes, we can't let an important official in the court do such a thing. Only Zhou Man is suitable in terms of temperament and responsibilities."
The emperor nodded slightly, but turned to look at the queen and smiled: "Just these two things?"
The Empress knew she couldn't hide it from the Emperor, so she smiled and said, "Mingda came to me for help. She has always been sensible and rarely asks me for help, so I couldn't help but agree."
She sighed and said, "Besides, the Luozhou Medical Bureau incident is neither small nor big. If it is really the fault of Disciple Zhou Man, then the law should be applied, but such a crime should not involve the family. Although I have never seen that young lady, she is newly married, so I think she is not too old, perhaps even younger than our Mingda Changyu, and she is pregnant..."
The emperor knew that the queen was concerned about Zheng Gu's daughter and had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the local medical bureau. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Then let Zhou Man go. But there is only one thing you must tell her not to upset Sanlang."
The emperor sighed and said, "Sanlang is not in good health. If he gets angry again, what if something bad happens to him?"
The Queen laughed and said, "She is the imperial physician. Do we need to remind her of such matters? She knows it herself."
The emperor said no more, as he had other plans in mind.
He looked at the queen, and then looked at the queen again.
The queen looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
The emperor smiled at her ingratiatingly, walked forward, held her hand, and sat down next to her. "Zi Tong, it was your idea to establish the Imperial Medical Bureau. Over the years, you have helped me oversee its establishment and development. Why don't I hand over the management of the local medical bureau to you?"
"That won't do," the Queen refused without hesitation, saying, "Your Majesty, the harem should not interfere in government affairs to prevent the monopoly of power by relatives. This is a lesson learned through the blood and tears of our ancestors, and we must not forget it."
"I trust the Zhao family."
The Queen smiled and said, "I also believe in my current brother, but people's hearts are fickle. This is not just a matter of our generation. After me, there will be other Queens, and after me, the Zhao family will have other relatives. Some rules cannot be broken."
The emperor opened his mouth but couldn't say anything against it for a long time. He knew that the queen was right and she had always done a good job.
Although she would give some suggestions on undecided issues in the court over the years, she never forcefully intervened in political affairs. Even when she gave suggestions, she did so quietly and never revealed them in front of others. Therefore, the court and the harem have always been harmonious, and no court official ever felt that the harem was interfering in politics.
Moreover, the queen is virtuous. In terms of trust, the officials in the court trust the queen more than he, the emperor.
He knew that the queen had set a good example and set the best role model for queens in later generations.
But the emperor wanted more. He wanted to share the world with her. He wanted her to personally manage the Imperial Medical Bureau, which he had strongly recommended. And...
The emperor stood up, walked around the hall two or three times, and finally stood in front of the queen, waving to Aunt Shang and others.
Aunt Shang had been worried since the emperor started speaking. When he waved his hand for them to leave, she glanced at the queen quietly, bowed, led everyone out, and then closed the palace door.
She personally stood guard outside to prevent anyone from approaching.
After everyone left, the emperor said, "You were the one who strongly recommended that I open the Imperial Medical Bureau. You have made great contributions over the years. You should also know that it is not easy for the Imperial Medical Bureau to open a local medical clinic."
The queen listened attentively.
The emperor sighed and said, "I know that you want Zhou Man to go to Luozhou not only for Sanlang and the young lady from the Zheng family, but also for the Luozhou Medical Bureau, for medical bureaus in other places, and even for those poor places that don't even have medical bureaus."
The Queen sighed deeply and said, "Since Your Majesty has seen through it, why do you need to speak it out?"
She said, "I cannot participate in government affairs."
"The first batch of female students from the Imperial Medical Bureau will graduate next year and be sent to various medical bureaus. Zi Tong, if you manage the Imperial Medical Bureau, they will definitely be able to play a greater role than they did in Xiao Zizhan's hands."
"Your Majesty, we cannot ruin the entire government for the sake of the Imperial Medical Bureau." The Queen was naturally conflicted, but for the long term, the consequences of the harem's interference in government would be far more serious than the immediate results. "Forgive me, I cannot obey your command."
The emperor sighed deeply. "The Luozhou incident shows that the local medical bureau still has many problems. First, they cannot cooperate well with the local government. If this continues, the medical bureau will disappear from the local area in less than 20 years."
The Queen clenched her sleeves, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was much more resolute. "So I want Zhou Man to go to Luozhou. Besides, it's time for her to go to the countryside."
"The palace has Dr. Liu as its assistant, and several female doctors will be selected next year, so she will have successors."
As long as the Imperial Medical Bureau can continue to train female doctors and have more intelligent people like Zhou Man, and the emperor supports its development, it will be able to gain a foothold in the local area, and female doctors will be able to expand medical services for women in various places, then her original intention will be achieved.
Although the process will be difficult and she may not see the results, she will be satisfied as long as she can avoid bringing bad consequences to Dajin.
The emperor was angry and distressed when he heard this. He could only rub his forehead and said, "Then the queen should teach the crown princess a lesson."
He originally thought that if the Queen was willing to help, the Imperial Medical Bureau would be able to gain a foothold in the local area as quickly as possible with the Queen's support. However, who knew that the Queen was unwilling.
The emperor sighed and turned to leave.
